Blue Imugi Vs. Jasper Rhys - Blue Shift II

Match Type: Standard Type.
Victory Condition Parameters: Pinfall, Submission or K.O.

Well... This was interesting, interesting as in well... Jasper was as far as most within Tension were concerned... An anomaly. For unlike the vast majority of his fellow male wrestlers within the brand, Jasper found himself facing off against other males quite regularly, having never participated in one of the mixed matches that the Tension brand was so famous for. Instead, the boy finding himself pitted against wrestlers of his same gender, with interesting results. Tonight however things were going to change as for the main event of the evening the plucky little Welshman found himself pitted against a female for the first time in his AFW Career and well now Jasper was to put it lightly... both a little excited and just a bit nervous as the past week hadn't gone so well for him, suffering two losses in a row with the latter of which being a long and grueling fight against a top-tier talent that had outclassed him in just about every respect, had dealt a nasty blow to the feminine boy's pride and left him sore for several days afterwards... So now given the opportunity to redeem himself in the ring, the little Bluenette readily accepted the first challenge that would be thrown at him, Eager for victory.

"Hmm... Did I forget to buy more tea today?..."

Young Jasper mumbled absentmindedly to himself, chirpily working away at his final last-minute pre-match warm up stretch, keeping himself calm and eager whilst simultaneously pushing away his nervousness and concerns to the back of his head as he finished up with his stretches, So what if he was wrestling a girl today? It really meant little to him any difference between female and male competitors and what ever nonsense misogynists and misandrists said, To Jasper it was no actual concern, whoever this 'Imugi' was would get the same treatment he gave pretty much everyone he fought. And besides... Jasper had no real interest in women to begin with.

He didn't swing that way.

Stand Up To The Victory! - Tomohisa Kawazoe:

The Arena lights dimmed slightly, and the excited crowd grew quiet as the lights converged on the entrance walkway with the opening buildup of Jasper's entrance theme, a quick and quiet buildup before finally exploding out in a cascade of up-beat excitement as Jasper's theme hit high-gear with the little Bluenette running out from the gorilla position, casually jogging down with his left-arm extended out for fans to high-five, a bright and competitive smile on his face as he made his way down to the ring and up the steel steps that led up and into the ring, the Welsh boy climbing in by expertly squeezing himself between the ropes with a feline precision and grace, whence finally inside the ring proper the Welsh boy would turn to face the crowd with that same confident up-beat smile that made him so beloved by the Tension audience before shouting aloud "Shwmae Kyoto!" and then shooting his fans a playful pilot's salute (Which got a pretty good pop from a decent portion of the crowd, but the remainder seemed quiet...) before making his way to the nearest corner of the ring and leaning back, humming a tune to himself whilst waiting for his foe's appearance from the opposing walkway, Eager to get started.

The soft and quiet murmur of the classic Welsh battle hymn 'Men Of Harlech' that Jasper hummed to himself would come to an abrupt end as he heard his opponent's theme start with those powerful drums, both startling him from his light daydreaming and disappointing him slightly as he was just about to finish his little bout of humming by quietly singing the final lyric of which he was rather fond of ("Keep these burning words before Ye!... Welshmen Will Not Yield!") To himself, However despite the slight disappointment that his humming was interrupted, it didn't compare with the eagerness he felt as he watched his opponent come down the ramp and towards the ring, the crowd cheering for her and holding up signs with an enthusiasm that drowned out Jasper's own (outnumbered) fans, something that the boy took note of but really didn't pay much mind to.

After this 'Blue' Imugi entered the ring and began her quad-stretches, the eager young Welshman made his way towards her with an enthusiastic and friendly smile on his face, intent on introducing himself in a friendly manner as he tended to do with most of his opponents, (whilst also toning down his childish impetuousness, remembering how badly it ended for him the last time) all the while noting that she reminded him of himself of all things in an odd way, the girl being just as small as he was whilst simultaneously looking far more err... 'Hench' than he was, especially with those abs that made his toned feminine form seem even more meek and effeminate than it usually appeared, although in regard to Jasper's physique appearances were deceiving, the visual differences and similarities between the two and making it really quite the interesting match-up.

An Effeminate Welsh boy versus a Masculine South Korean girl? Oh, what a lark!

"Shwmae!... Hello! That means 'hello there' where I'm from... I take it you're that famous 'Imugi' I'm facing off against tonight." He said with that famously strong accent of his, a playfully cheeky cadence to his tone as he spoke, left-arm outstretched for a handshake with the girl, Jasper wondering if she'd reciprocate his politeness.

With a notable enthusiasm, Jasper shook his hand with Imugi and ignored the official explaining away the rules of the match to the two, instead keeping his focus on the girl before him, and it had to be said, his brown eyes locked with her sharper blue eyes and from what he saw of her now that the two were up close, She was two things... First off she was definitely the taller of the two, Secondly and more pressingly she was definitely the more 'Hench' of the two, Imugi looking like a proper fighter in comparison to the athletic but more lithe build Jasper had. Which was something that intimidated the boy, but didn't dissuade him from the fight ahead, the plucky boy didn't come all this way just for a former pit-fighter's physique to intimidate him.

"I guess you could say that, Yeah." Jasper replied casually, tilting his head curiously to the girl's somewhat condescending tone. "And no, don't you worry, I happily intend to win this." He said, a playful tone evident in his voice as he spoke, eventually when the two ceased their handshake and made their way to their corners of the ring Jasper innocently replied to Imugi's seeming taunt. "O-Oh? Well Pob Lwc! That means Good Luck where I'm from." He said chirpily before making his way to the corner opposite to his opponent and leaning back against the turnbuckle, awaiting the start to the match.

-DING-DING-DING!

And with that, the Match had started with Jasper getting off the ropes and rolling his shoulders one last time before raising his hands in a defensive manner and approaching his opponent, initially going at Imugi with a cautiousness until, when the two were seemingly close enough, the rambunctious young Welsh-boy plucked up courage and made his move by throwing caution to the wind and quickly moving up towards the Pit-Viper for a lock-up with her, looking to test his strength against her as he planted his hands against her shoulders and began to push, eager to show that he's not backing down.

Well this was a pleasant surprise!... Jasper thought to himself as he somehow successfully managed to push his more muscular foe, the Welsh rookie surprised that his opponent actually lost ground to him in their opening grapple... "Maybe I can pull this off?" Jasper said internally to himself as he dug his heels into the mat for just a bit more traction as the two struggled against one another, with the smaller Welsh bluenette seeming to come out the better-off of the two in their clinch as Imugi was pushed closer to the ropes.

That was all fine and dandy until, well... Much to Jasper's surprise, the Korean girl leaned back allowing him to take the advantage, and much to his opponent's delight the little Welshboy had taken the bait with confusion... This opened him up to a swiftly delivered, sharp, and high aimed kick that smashed into the boy's chin. Jasper let out a pained and surprised yelp as this head-shot from Imugi sends him stumbling back, arms swinging in circles, trying to maintain his balance. The young Welsh boy's hopes for an easy match now dashed just as quickly as Imugi's kick, the tables have turned!

"S-Shite!" He cursed internally.

With arms flailing wildly in a futile attempt to maintain balance the disorientated Welshboy would inevitably fall onto his butt with a light amusing thud, his hazel eyes rattling about in his head from the force of the kick leaving him dazed and even a little confused, but not out of the fight so soon, as quickly enough, he did regain his bearings despite the sharp pain he felt on his chin from the kick, really brute-forcing his way through the pain as he knew he needed to get back on his feet and fast.

With the disorientation from the kick now mostly gone, Jasper was quickly back on his feet with his bearings regained which was good, what wasn't good was first the somewhat obnoxious chants of support from Imugi's rather obsessive fan base, even worse however was that as soon as Jasper had turned his attention back to his opponent, The Pit Viper was already on her feet and running at him at a speed that in Jasper's mind was somewhere between Mach-1 or Mach-2, closing the distance fast. The Welshboy's mind racing through options on what to do to avoid the incoming kick that he just knew was coming his way...

However, just as it seemed that the Korean was upon him and that the strike, That he'd possibly be K.O.'d for an early match end and thus an incredibly quick victory for Imugi, the little Welsh git ducked his head down just as Imugi went in to deliver the kick, magnificently avoiding her strike at the very last second with mere inches separating his head from her foot, letting the Korean girl crash into the ropes behind him, all the while with a surprised expression scrawled on his face.

Jasper's immediate reaction, the mere second that he could bring his head back up from the close-shave. "T-That was cutting it a bit bloody close." he stammered quietly to himself under his breath as he turned around to face Imugi, quickly rushing the girl again to deliver a proper retaliatory strike with a Kick into the now hopefully surprised and or confused Korean's side!
